Cognos Development environment layout/design options

[kravguy]

We have two Cognos developers at our shop.  Our development work is concurrent - connecting to a shared Cognos BI DEV server.  We are constantly having issues with server and its administrators (who are spread thin) and unfortunately our application is not their top priority.  I want more control of our development environment.  Can we install locally and point to a shared content store out on the network? 

I would appreciate any help/suggestions on how to restructure our development environment.  Thanks

As long as your computer is on the network and can communicate with the content store, it possible. Without knowing anything about your company/work/user base, I wouldn't advise this.

What are some of the issues you're constantly having? Perhaps they're unrelated to the server.
